[REF] Gear manager downloads, current version: 1.7.031004 | 2014-03-16 - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Please read first:
I have moved on to the HTC One M8, I don't own a galaxy phone anymore, and have sold my gear. I won't be keeping this thread updated anymore, but please refer to Brendo's thread (link below) which he appears to be maintaining. Cheers. ps, i really miss the gear, but am just sick of samsung phones for the moment. can't wait for the moto 360!
Brendo's gear manager thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573200
Hi All,
Here's some versions of the Gear manager APK I have managed to collect. Hopefully the historical versions might be useful to some, and the current version useful to people wanting to run Gear manager on a non Samsung/Touchwiz phone/ROM.
Latest version, 16th March 2014
1.7.031004 - poor watch battery life? I would stick with 1.6.132701 right now.
Historical versions
1.6.132701
1.6.131003
1.6.111801
1.5.123002
1.5.121601 - this version was a bit buggy
1.5.120903
1.2.131013
If you have other versions feel free to send me a link and I'll host.
For those running non-TouchWiz phones, you might be able to get the Samsung Apps app working by having a look HERE.
HTH.
Changelog
As usual with Samsung, we don't often get real changelogs, but occasionally people work it out or Samsung's PR team let it slip.
2.0.14031004
Watch manager that comes with the Galaxy S5
1.7.031004
Unsure, but I have gotten pretty bad watch battery life with this version. I went back to 1.6.132702 and battery mostly went back to normal.
?? initially I thought this would be for 1.6.111801, but I installed it and it doesn't feature these updates. So possibly this is a future changelog of an unreleased version
Improved pedometer accuracy
Add setting menu “Motions”
Change motion menu for wake up gesture
When connecting to device again (example: after powering on), send notification of all unread messages
Changed to send notification only for new message
Fix to add popup message for BT connection without GM in setup wizard
Implemented standalone alarm
Add additional PIN lock
Changed and improved notifications menu
Implemented more notifications
Gear shows the messages of the notification of quick panel displayed on the phone
1.6.132702
First official 1.6.x release.
1.6.131003
Optimised for KitKat phone ROMs
1.6.111801
Fixed GMail notification repeats
Applies new functionality when used with ML1 firmware (eg native alarm)

cool, you need to advertise that better, maybe put some search terms or something? Make it obvious that older versions are there too.. i searched a lot when i first got my gear (for Christmas), and i didn't come across your thread
Mods, feel free to delete this thread.

I don't think that we should delete this thread. I think that we should take all the apk's for gear manager and put them in this thread for reference and keep this thread going because it is very clean. thank you Mods and thank you Omni wolf

yep neither. I guess the changelog that the Samsung rep posted in that facebook post was for a different version. Maybe it's what we have to look forward to?

Keep getting parsing error when trying to install the latest two versions. Any ideas?

Just checked-U.S.east coast-1.6 not showing

Updated through posted apk-see no difference-cnn still has no connection, weather and voice assist still in whatever language that is-no idea why these can't get straightened out-wish they would just open up app store already

Gmail.apk from LG Nexus available for DOWNLOAD- Cool new features.

Android Police have reportedly got the latest gmail.apk ripped from a LG Nexus, with cool new features like pinch to zoom and swipe to remove.
The version # is 4.2, so it looks like we will receive another software update from Google before long. Damn Google is hot at the moment:cyclops:

Awesome! Although I don't delete my emails, the pinch to zoom is awesome.
The title is misleading because it isn't leaked but rather previewed.
If it was leaked, there would be a download link to the apk file....

Kinda see your point, the apk was leaked but not to the general public. The author mentioned that they was a possibility (slight) that their source would allow then to distribute the apk. Hope I didn't get your hopes up:angel:
Can a mod please change the title to "Updated Gmail,apk previewed from LG Nexus."

In addition to point #6 Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned. from Android Police's installation guide, I would also boot into Recovey and wipe the Davlik Cache, to ensure there is no old data that could mess things up.
I have now installed it on my stock 4.1.2, it really is a big improvement in functionality, feels far more intuitive
Nice, this will be good.

This was an unofficial leak of the LG Nexus's ROM from a source know to Android Police, not approved by Google.

Never used Sparrow, what are its strong points over Gmail?
I like it.. One oddity though.
In the menu when composing they have
Attach Picture
Attach Video
I don't understand the useless redundancy here.. "Attach File" makes more sense then splitting it up and making it look like you can only attach pictures or videos.
Am I the only one who can't seem to install it? Every time I try, it says could not be installed. I even uninstalled the old version. Unknown sources is checked. I'm on PA 2.2.
Edit: rebooted, cleared cache/dalvik. All good now.

Yes I noticed that.
It didn't actually prevent a non-Picture file being attached and sent though (I attached and sent the gmail2.apk).

Galaxy Gear and Lg G2

Hello friends,
Just bought a LG G2 and i'm very interested about the Gear is more beautiful and with much options then the Sony SW2.Anyone have a Gear connected to G2 or in future they will can be connected?
I switched from gs4 to LG g2. I love this phone! But I also love my watch. I've been working on it for along time. I got tablet talk on my gear so it will show my text.
Hopefully an update comes soon so we can use gear on any android phone and have everything working! This will do I suppose.

lg g2 and gear
any news to connect with lg g2???
My girl has a Gear and G2, it connects and she can read her call logs and use the media player but doesn't get any notifications. I just installed the gear manager and all the apks associated with it. No issues with connecting to LG G2. Gear is running ML1 update with Null 19 and she is using Gear Manager v1.6.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
Yeah, such a shame... I think originally Samsung thought everyone was gonna go nuts over the Gear and that they would sell more phones as a result. But that didn't work out... I think at this point, they should just make it so it works on any phone.

I think you may need the ATN Manager app to get the notifications on the Gear.

Found this on a web:
You can root the Galaxy Gear, you can also install custom ROMs on it. You can then also use it on any android 4.3+ phone.
Check out XDA for all the info.

Only issue right now is that the LG G2 is only on 4.2.2 right now. Until they bring out Kit Kat.
Now I am willing to ROOT/FlASH to whatever rom I need to to make this work (im bored and like the way it looks). I appreciate your swift answer. I have 4 hours to figure this out while Battlefield 4 downloads
Custom rom makes no difference to compatibility
There are several threads here already for non touchwiz rom/phones. Same applies to all of them
Essentially you need gearmanagerstub apk installed in /system/app (check downloads in my sig). Then you get some of the functionality. Pretty much need 4.3 or higher also

You'll need gear manager. To install gear manager, you need to have gearmanagerstub.apk in /system/app on your phone
Once gearmanagerstub is there, install gear manager, then install the extra 21 apks (2 won't install)

When gm runs for the first time, it installs extra apk files automatically. For some reason this only occurs on touchwiz roms, so you'll need to install them manually instead
If you check the link in my sig, you'll be able to download them all. weather and another wont install unless you have the correct touchwiz apps

Yeah I have a G2 and it works fine. I get calls but most other notifications dont come through. Text/email/weather. This may be limited to my 4.2.2 . What ROM are you flashing to? I would like to know how you like it because I may do that as well if flashing to 4.3 gives added functionality with gear manager. Right now im using the oldest version of gear manager.

They are figuring ecerything out to let you flash through kies... Cause now you have to seperate programs. 1 to change the bootloader for Android to Tizen and the normal Odin to flash the ROM itself.. As this is to difficult for normal users. They figuring our how to do thia through Kies

Latest version of watchstyler (v1.2) has support for gear 2, so you'd assume the answer is yes
This is too bad. Seems like getting 4.4 and Android Wear are out the window at this point unless someone can compile AOSP for the Gear.
Or a dedicated and talented developer ports android wear to our gear, just like they do with cell phones. Hopefully our gear are not hardware limited to run wear in the future.

I'm surprised there's not more talk about getting android wear on the original gear. It's far exceeds the hardware requirements of android wear and already comes with android. Not only that, but it uses the components from some flagship Samsung mobile phones. CPU-GPU included, oh and if anyone says it's because it's not possible make a new android version run an old android device. Look at the original galaxy s with jelly bean.

i think that the problem of android wear is that there are no real sources, you have the test build images, but no clean sources to start a new rom from scratch like for aosp
Am I correct in assuming that upgrading to tizen will break connectivity with non touch wizz phones? I'm pairing my original galaxy note with aokp to my gear with great results. I would love to have the battery savings that tizen offers but it would be useless if I can't connect to my phone..
Also does anyone know if tizen is open source? Meaning that somebody talented would be able to make it work with unsupported phones..

actually not, it seems that guys with gear 2 are connecting theirs too with non touchwizz phones ! I'm not sure but I think they managed even notifications.
Can anyone confirm that you can flash the bootloader back from Tizen to android?
No more apps from Google Play, goodbye Tasker! goodbye gear
if someone can leak the version of tizen that's doing the rounds at Samsung atm then we could theoreticly flash to and back from tizen and android
atm according to rumour there is a version getting testing but in involves manual flashing ,in 2 parts, the bootloader and the system
if this is the case ,then its possible to flash back from tizen ,
but also according to rumour, they don't want to release any firmwares that's not easy enough to do in kies or odin to a "average user"
I would love the tizen available now just to test it
come on leak it

[NOT SAFE TO FLASH!]First attempt at porting Android Wear to Galaxy Gear

Hello everyone!
This is my first attempt at porting Android Wear to the Galaxy Gear! I am not an experienced dev and this was done fairly quickly using null_23 as a base and the Gear Live system dump. This is not at all ready and definitely not ready to flash. If you do decide to flash it, you risk bricking your device. That being said, I am requesting that a more experienced dev check over my work. If it seems in order, then it will be tested, until such a time, test at your own risk.
Link: http://d-h.st/go2
UPDATE: [ONLY FOR BRAVE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN TESTING]: Since I used null_ as the base, the addons are still available, but please do not flash any of them! And use the stock kernel for the time being!
UPDATE 2: It might be a good idea to try using the custom kernel we have available to us. If I can get an updater script from the gear live or other android wear device and look in to modifying the bootclasspath in the preexisting custom kernel that we have.
UPDATE 3: I have figured out how to modify the bootclasspath, will make the modification shortly. I just need an updater script for an android wear device and we may have a booting android wear port.
UPDATE 4: Link to Attempt 2 coming soon. This has a modified updater script that will hopefully set all permissions correctly. This may be all it needs to boot properly. If not, then I may still need some help getting the Gear Live Kernel to modify our kernel's bootclasspath. If anyone would like to flash this, same as before, I can't guarantee anything will work or that your device will work afterward.
Link: AWAttempt2.zip
UPDATE 5: added my slightly modified updater files from fomey's null_ ROM attached at the bottom. fomey, if we get this working, could you package it in to null_ as a second ROM option?

Dude, you are fast!
I will not try it out right away because i just set up Null 23 and cloudnotifier so that to have notifications on the iPhone.
BTW, is there any chance that it will work with an iPhone. Ala Google Glass, that is.

Hello everyone!
This is my first attempt at porting Android Wear to the Galaxy Gear! I am not an experienced dev and this was done fairly quickly using null_23 as a base and the Gear Live system dump. This is not at all ready and definitely not ready to flash. If you do decide to flash it, you risk bricking your device. That being said, I am requesting that a more experienced dev check over my work. If it seems in order, then it will be tested, until such a time, test at your own risk.

I just tried it out with the installation through TWRP, definitely not working as you said yet, just boot loops. I've been looking around in the zip and I see no problems that were noticeable. Hopefully this port of android wear can happen!

Thank you for testing so quickly! I'm glad it did not cause any serious issues to your device. I will do some talking with some devs I know and see what I can get worked out. Porting to the 1 will actually be easier than to the 2 or Neo, since there is an android base for the 1, unlike the 2 and Neo which are Tizen only.
Do you have a change log? If this is based on Null, it's still 4.2, while the wear launcher, if I remember correctly, requires a newer version of Android, probably 4.4. Just curious what your plans are to deal with that. Seems to me the only real options are either editing the wear app or porting 4.4 aosp and hoping the launcher works. Theoretically, the gear live dump could be ported but the major difference between cpus makes it a much more difficult task than people originally hoped. I think the best chance would be if a dev team (ie CM) were to pick up the protect, but there's the downside to a large bounty: there's a lot of people wanting to go it alone for the cash.

Trust me, I'm not doing this in an attempt to get the bounty. The money doesn't interest me at all. As far as the change log goes, this is the absolute first attempt, so there hasn't been anything changed yet. So again, this was a quick attempt in an effort to get the ball rolling and get the community involved in the development.

No worries, I didn't think you were. You didn't have the typical billion "Donate please!" links that they would.
But what does first attempt mean? Just null kernel and modules with gear live system folder? I know a little about these things so I'd like to take a look, mostly out of curiosity, so I'd like to know what you've already done, preliminary as it is.
I agree though, we needed some kind of thread started and I agree that it's too early to put anything in the development forum.

Not just a swapped out system folder. the base of the null_ system folder is still there. I only migrated the things necessary for a standard port. The only issue is that there is no ROM for the gear live yet, so a proper permissions section is not available for me to port from the updater script of the live to the updater script of the galaxy gear. I'm pretty convinced that if someone with a little more knowledge than myself edited the updater script permissions section to set the proper permissions for the new files, that this would at least boot.
Hi guys, I stumbled across this ebay listing item number 161368138405 . The seller claims he will update your gear to 4.4.2 for £25 + p & p , I have emailed the developer a link to the bounty thread, hopefully he may be able to help.

Its some fake **** i think.
Would like to se a device info screen screenshot.
In the pictures he wirtes "This is not for the watch"
And later on "(1) Watch will become android 4,4,2"
Does he know what he is selling or not?
When he says "This is not for the watch", I think he means that you are not buying the watch in the picture. That is, you are not buying the physical watch, just the software upgrade.
I think it is high risk when you send your watch to him.

But for you rom is started?
4.2.2.
I wouldn't be surprised if he means 4.2.2.
He was pretty sure on his reply to me it was 4.4.2

RevengeDevTeam: I have not necessarily classified this as a ROM, since it currently doesn't boot. That's why this is listed in the general thread. I am working on it, but there are no guarantees right now.
gingerdude: I'm pretty sure it's a scam. I wouldn't send him my watch if I were you.

Yeah, the listing was ended by the poster because there was an error in the listing. I bet he got scared cause people started to figure him out.
Oh that's a shame. I thought it might give you guys a head start
Will be watching with interest

Help needed - App Testing [Easy DND]

Hi guys
I made this app which is currently in Beta. I've had a lot of downloads and I received two emails recently, one to say the app does not work on the S8, and the other to say the app does not work on the Note 8. So I tested my app on the Samsung Remote Test Lab and it seems to be working fine on the S8. I am wondering about the Note 8, as I wasn't able to test Pie on it.
I then thought of asking the S8 and Note 8 forums for help. If you are on Android Pie, could you please try the app and let me know if it does what it is supposed to?
For more info, the XDA thread is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-easy-dnd-disturb-beta-release-t3917437
The Playstore link is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.strangerweather.easydnd
Needless to say it's a free app. If you could post your findings in this thread I would be very grateful! Cheers!

Thanks for pointing this out. I have now updated my OP with correct links!
Still hoping that someone can test, cheers!
Hey so, I'm on a note 8 running pie and ive got some information regarding the application.
If you turn DND On
Select Priority Only mode
Enable messages and alarms
(And then check the permissions through Samsung settings)
Everything is fine so far.
But if you then go into priority settings and change anything
It will disregard what you previously selected (in this case messages and alarms)
I will screen record and post it here if you would like.

Hello, many thanks for your reply! A recording would be great as I don't quite understand what you mean. If it's not too much trouble.
Cheers!

Indeed, this helps a lot thanks, you've found a bug! It's not specific to the Note 8, I have the same on my phone.
I'll work on sorting that out then.
:good:
